The network announced today it has ordered another 8 episodes from British production company Roughcut. Additionally, it revealed that Mark Reisman - the Emmy-nominated US producer who has worked on shows including Frasier and The Exes - will be joining the sitcom as Executive Producer and Showrunner.

The new series, overseen by a new writing team, will see the setting change to focus on Tommy (David Hoffman) and commercial model Scarlet (Brianne Howey) heading to "the epicentre of fashion", New York City.

Other regular characters from Series 1, such as fellow models Anna and Luke, will be dropped. Instead, the second series will feature three new characters who have yet to be revealed. Casting for these roles is currently under way.

Lourdes Diaz from Comedy Central says: "You're going to see more character-driven comedy and more relatable, yet hilariously awkward stories as Tommy and his perfect hands head to New York to take the fashion scene by storm."

Mark Reisman jokes: "As a former international hand model, I responded to the premise right away. I'm excited to take these characters to New York and shake up their world with new roommates and new challenges."
